How do I build an outdoor ping pong table.?

coolphill5

I need step by step detailed instructions on how to build this table including all the materials that must be weather resistant. Thanks

Answer
Ok i think a reg. table is 9x5. i have n idea for a 4 x 8 table
that will last for Meany years. Please keep in mind that the materials i state are impotent to a long lasting table.

At the Home Depot or any other Building supply house:

1 4x8 sheet of 3/4 pressure treated NBO plywood
6 2x4x8' pressure treated
1 small box of 1.5 galvanized screwed

1. Lay ply wood on the floor, dra a stright line at each end of sheet @ 1 foot
2. Cut from one of the 2 x 4's two pices that are 42 inchs.
screw flat side to the line on the ply wood
3. Make two frames from the rest of the 2x 4's that mesure
28 inches x 40. lay the 40's down, take the 28's and
place at the end of 40's making a box. Using a squar
make sure it is true and stright.3 screws at each joint
4. Attach above boxes to the 2 x 4 on ply wood with at lest
6-10 screws
5. Cut last 2 x 4 to 75 inches. screw this down in the center
of the bottom of the two boxes.
6. You could just a cheep net at any sporting goods place,
or you could cut a strip of chichen wire to 6 inches and
replace it with a store bought net using the brackets.

Paint ping pong table green placing a white stripe
down the middle after pant is dry for 24 hours.Enjoy

**note** It would be a Good idear to buy a cheep tarp and few
bungy 4 cords to keep covered

How to make beer pong table.?

noexcuses1

I know that you need folding table legs and a piece of wood lol but i was wondering if anybody knew pretty close prices to all the materials. also how much the water sealent paint is.

Answer
me and my friends did that a few months ago in the summer. its expensive, i would just buy one but if you still want to make it, itll cost like 100 bucks with paint and all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKRZI_Qp83Y. thats how you make it. we got the wood and paint from home depot and we had the wood cut in half to make the table fold. dont use latex paint. those are the basics. if your making a folding table then get latch locks so the table wont collapse and make sure the hinges go on the bottom cause the table wont close if they are on top. that website is all you need basically. youll want a nice polyurathane but you dont need it. make sure you know which type to get cause some of it will change the color of your table. make sure you get outdoor paint also cause these things take a beating. my table was 8 ft and came in handy.

I can't get my villagers to build more huts in Virtual Villagers?

silvergrl1

I have the very first hut that my builder has built, but I can't get my villagers to build more. I've tried dragging my master builder to all open spaces and I have the 3rd level of construction, but still no huts. Any ideas?

Answer
You have to keep breeding until u have a population of like 14, then a foundation will appear left of the long hut. Bring a builder to it and he will start building. When you finish and you reach a pop of like 28, another foundation will appear south of the second hut. when you finish, that's the last hut.

If you need some puzzle answers, here they r:
Detailed spoilers for the 16 puzzles:
(courtesy of ladycfii)

Donât read these unless you want to know exactly how to solve each of the puzzles.

Puzzle 1 requires a builder to clean up the well, so that there will be a source of fresh water for your tribe. Drag a villager with some building skill to the well.

Puzzle 2 is the first of 3 additional huts that your villagers will construct as your population grows and your villagers require more housing. The huts will be initiated, as needed, by one of your builders. Your population is limited to 7 villagers until the first hut is finished. Once itâs finished, your tribe can grow to a population of 15. The second hut allows your population to expand to 30 villagers, and the final hut allows your population to grow to the population limit of approximately 90 villagers. You must have a villager trained in building in order to build the new huts. At the start of the game, one of your builders already has skill in building and will work on the hut unless you retrain them and assign them to a different occupation. Itâs important to make sure that you have at least one builder in your village so that you will be able to provide additional housing for your growing tribe. If none of your villagers has any skill in building, and you need to train a builder, your villagers can gain building skill by fixing any of the 3 huts that they have constructed.

Puzzle 3 is completed by cleaning up the debris on the beach. Completion of this puzzle is required before your villagers will be able to fish in the ocean (which also requires Level 3 of Harvesting). Drag a villager to the debris field and they will begin cleaning up the beach.

Puzzle 4 is the founding of a school for your village. Drag a master scientist to the long building north of the research table.

Puzzle 5 is completed by removing the blockage from the creek in the northwest corner of the village. Your villagers will need to have researched Level 2 of Construction to work on this puzzle. Drag a villager to the pile of rocks blocking the flow of water from the creek. Once the blockage is cleared, the water will flow into a sparkling lagoon that your villagers will use for various work and leisure activities. This puzzle is a key to three other puzzles.

Puzzle 6 is dependent upon the completion of the lagoon and level 3 of Harvesting. Take a master farmer to the lagoon, and they will begin hunting a strange fish. It may take many tries before they succeed, so be patient and keep trying.

Puzzle 7 is the discovery of the graveyard and requires Level 2 of Spirituality to complete. When one of your villagers dies, drag an adult villager to the northeast corner of the island. The villagers will celebrate the discovery and will then proceed to provide a proper burial for that little pile of bones in village center. After the first burial, your villagers will initiate burials for all deceased members of the tribe.

Puzzle 8 requires that your villagers master the medicinal properties of 4 plants indigenous to the island. One plant is located south of the lagoon site, one is the cactus thatâs located near the boulder, and the other two are on the east side of the island. Drag a villager to each of the 4 plants until each one is mastered.

Puzzle 9 is dependent upon the completion of the lagoon. Take one of your villagers to the field on the east side of the island (where they see dead flowers), and they will begin to water the field with the pure water from the lagoon. If you have builders in your tribe, they will begin to water the field on their own. Villagers without building skill will water the field, also, but will stop after one trip. Once your villagers have put sufficient water on the field (it takes a lot of water), the field will be revived and will once again be in full bloom.

Puzzle 10 is dependent upon the butterflies from puzzle 14. Those butterflies will be able to pollinate a special plant on the island. Once the butterflies begin to follow the Golden Child, drag him or her to the strange plant north of the berry bush.

Puzzle 11 is the restoration of the temple at the site of the ruins. After attaining Level 3 of Construction, drag one of your villagers to the ruins in the southeast portion of the island, and they will begin restoring the ruins.

Puzzle 12 is dependent upon the completion of the temple, as well as attaining Level 3 of Spirituality. Drag one of your builders to the sparkly rock on the west side of the village, and they will begin to chisel the rock.

Puzzle 13 is the birth of the Golden Child and requires the completion of the idol, the lagoon, and Level 3 in Fertility. You will need to take a nursing mom to the lagoon.

Puzzle 14 is dependent upon the Golden Child. Take the Golden Child to the Magic Flower Garden.

Puzzle 15 is a buried treasure. Its location can be discovered only by a master builder. Your tribe must also have researched Level 3 in both Construction and Science before they have the technology required to make the discovery. You must actually drop your builder in the right location - dragging him around won't help you find it. Look for the message, "Is something buried here?" to tell you that you're in the right place. If you want a hint for the location, highlight the following white text: Try dropping your builder in various sandy places in the lower half of the village map to see if he notices anything. If you want the exact location, highlight this text: Try dropping your builder directly south of the food bin in line with the temple. Once he locates something, you may have to be persistent before he will actually start digging. Keep dropping him there - it could take many, many tries. Once he starts digging, and the scaffolding appears, other builders (if you have any), regardless of skill, will start to help, too!

Puzzle 16 is the moving of the boulder, which can be done only by the Golden Child. You don't need to make him do anything (and it won't work if you try). Just give it some time, and he will take care of it for you. After heâs born, you should just watch him for a while, if you have the time - it's entertaining to see him solve that puzzle, especially when you have a lot of villagers.

fun place to go to in cocoa beach FL??

CINDY

Answer
Depends on your age if you have children. I have been there many times. We love the pier. There are shops for kids, and adults all over the place they have an aquarium scene painted on the outside thats really cool. The end of the pier has a tiki hut, and you can rent fishing poles on the pier for cheap and fish. There is a couple of good bars (sorry) its coconuts something tables are shaped like surf boards they have decent food little pricey, and you can go on the deck outside on the beach, and have live music. Ron Jons is a must. Don't forget disney world, and universal studios is only 30 minute drive down the bee line highway from there. Also Disney cruise lines is close and you can go to the port and hang out or there is Kennedy space center close too..Lots to do in cocoa beach sorry if it was to long :)

nutrient agar?

Q. How do you make nutrient agar by using things you can find in a local grocery store. Example- Stater Bros. or Vons???

And also, when you make this, is it alright for dogs and humans to eat?

Were doing a project to find the bacteria in a dogs mouth
and in a human mouth. To see which has more. [5th grade science project]

Any ideas?
Were not actually going to bring the bacteria into the classroom. Were just bringing a couple of papers showing what we did and the conclusion.

Answer
This is really not a project that requires a chicken little-esque response to. The sky isn't falling, and the world will not end. Your mouth is full of bacteria. So is your entire body. The bacteria outnumber your human cells by 10 to 1 at least. And for whatever it is worth, in college (not 5th graders, I know) we cultured bacteria from much more terrible places in our body than our mouth and it was BSL-1.


Answer to the question follows, at the end I'll recap biosafety levels.

You need a solidifying agent. Gelatine was used early on in microbiology to solidify agar. The problem with gelatine is that some bacteria degrade it, which is why agar is used now. But you should be able to try gelatine and see how it works.

The bacteria will need carbohydrates. You might want to try something like vegetable broth or maybe even V8? I know historically that these have been used as a component of growth media (one of the scientists in my lab makes some sort of V8 agar, he has cans of it on his bench).

Or you can try normal table sugar for this, since that's something the bacteria in a human's mouth encounter anyhow. Some bacteria cannot metabolize sucrose, however, just a detail to keep in mind.

The bacteria will also need some sort of protein in order to provide some amino acids and act as a nitrogen source. I'm not sure what to use for this, but something that dissolves and is high in protein.

To prepare it you'd want to mix everything together and then boil it until everything has dissolved. Let it cool a little then pour into whatever you're using as petri dish surrogates, making sure that they have a cover of some sort. If possible, you might want to work out some way to "sterilize" the petri dish-thing, use some rubbing alcohol perhaps prior to adding your agar.

I'm not sure about eating it. In theory you're just putting in stuff you would eat individually, so I don't know that it would necessarily be bad to eat. But, a "slick" way to do the experiment would be to use some sort of sterilized q-tip or something to swab the persons teeth, then streak it across the plate, and do the same with the dog.

Biosafety lesson @ http://www.cdc.gov/od/ohs/symp5/jyrtext.htm

"BSL-1 is appropriate for working with microorganisms that are not known to cause disease in healthy human humans. This is the type of laboratory found in municipal water-testing laboratories, in high schools, and in some community colleges teaching introductory microbiology classes, where the agents are not considered hazardous. "

I'm pretty sure if working with sewage is BSL-1, then so is growing bacteria from your own mouth.

What would cause an electrical shock in my finger?

Zenny

I was cleaning off my kitchen counters with a nail brush and I had my left hand on the counter and after a few minutes I felt like electricity running through my ring finger and it scared me. It wasn't like a tiny little spark it felt like if I had stuck my hand in a light socket.

Answer
Hi Zenny. After your question about Christmas trees in Egypt closed, I posted a 140-character comment about it as a comment on one of your Yahoo photos because I'm staying in Cairo for a week or two and yesterday the guest house manager put up a Christmas tree with little electrical lights. We also hung up tinsel streamers and I contributed red and green balloons from my luggage. (When a clown goes on tour, the clown takes the circus with him!)

In New Zealand we usually use pine trees or pine branches (pinus radiata) but my sister is allergic to pine so at home we've used an artificial tree for some years. New Zealand has a tree, pohutukawa, which has dark red flowers around Christmas time, so it's called the New Zealand Christmas Tree although not many NZers actually take one indoors for Christmas.

Nineteen years ago I was in Zimbabwe at Christmas time. What I saw then was that whatever country people are in, if they want to celebrate something from their culture, they'll do it in ways that remind them of 'home'.

So, if people want the trappings of Christmas in Egypt, they'll get them. If they want to get the real meaning of Christmas--the good news that G.d was born as a human to identify with us in our situation and to show that we can live to serve G.d and others instead of ourselves--they can find that meaning wherever they are, too! Some believers have said to me that they like having Christmas away from New Zealand because back where we come from Christmas is mainly celebrated as a commercial event, not a spiritual occasion.

And for the many in Egypt who don't know or don't care what Christmas is about, they won't have trees and decorations. (Do you know the 1980s Live Aid song, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" ? To the majority of people that song was about, the meaning of Christmas hasn't been explained.)

Now, back to your electricity question. Maybe the bench is in contact with a live power line. That's not much of a problem as long as you don't complete the circuit by touching something else that lets the electricity flow through you. If it does, it can do damage. Getting an electric charge isn't bad in itself, birds perch on power lines without getting fried (or dry roasted)! (And static electricity can be harmless fun--see my blog on BumpANose.Org for a story about that.)

But as you say it happened 'after a few minutes' I suspect that it was some kind of cramp in a muscle in your finger. (If I wanted to freak you out, I could say, "Check that your fingers all work. Put your hand flat on a table and raise your fingers one by one. If you can't raise your ring finger, that's evidence that you've been abducted by aliens and experimented on in a laboratory in a space ship!" But, hey, I don't want to freak you out so I'll tell you now, humans' ring fingers never lift up off a flat surface the way their other fingers do.)

Last month I was in Pakistan with some other New Zealanders, visiting an NZer for her 50th birthday. Sue, one of the guests, was a bit of a clean-freak and her husband Tony was a bit of a hypochondriac. Sue decided to clean the grime of finger prints, etc, of the light switches. Next time Tony went into the bathroom and switched on the light, he yelled because he got an electric shock from it. Either Sue had left moisture in it, or she'd scrubbed off the insulation that was keeping people away from the electricity!

[Speaking of electricity, my laptop has just said the battery is down to 12% so I've plugged it in to the power supply. The power here isn't connected properly until I hear it sizzling in the power point! (It's hard to get laptops and cell phones plugged in enough to charge batteries in these third-world countries.)]

Well, I've written more than enough. I hope your question is still open for answers or I've been wasting my time!
